Wow, are you and I alike. I am dealing with a torn knee ligament and am waiting for surgery. Needless to say, I can do only a little for myself and I can't drive. And I am depressed, too. My husband helps some, but I hate to ask him for a lot. And a friend is coming to help me for a day and then my sister. But I keep thinking I shouldn't ask them for much.

My mom was never very helpful for me when I first hurt my knee and I struggled a lot then.

So you are not alone! What can we do to be supportive of each other?
